And Menachem, son of Gad, went up from Tirtsah [northeast of Shechem; present-day Tell el-Farah] and came to [the city of] Samaria and struck Shallum, son of Javesh, in Samaria and killed him. And he reigned in his place.
[Menachem was the 16th king of the northern kingdom. His name means "comforter," which is ironic considering his violent rise to power. He reigned for 10 years (752-742 BC).] In the 39th year of Azariah (Hebr. Azarjah) [Uzziah], king of Judah, Menachem, son of Gad, began to reign over Israel, and he reigned for ten years in Samaria.
